Colorado and Washington are legalizing marijuana because it was voted for. However, in Louisiana, they charge people with a felony for a second possession of marijuana charge -- regardless of amount. This means you can become a felon, losing your right to own a gun and your right to vote. And it will become next to impossible to get a good job. How can they get away with doing this?

It is blatantly obvious that in other states, officials don't believe possession of marijuana is even a misdemeanor, which is why it is being decriminalized everywhere. It feels as if the St. Tammany Parish government has declared themselves as gods who live amongst mere mortals, and since they don't smoke weed, nobody can, or they will put them in their for-profit prisons.
